Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

As night deepened, the roadside barbecue stalls became even more lively.

"Alright, let's go back." Bai Li checked the time. "Isn't your aunt waiting for you to bring back New Year's goods?"

Wang Wei nodded. Although he was a little reluctant to leave the gathering, he knew he couldn't afford to offend the matriarch of his family.

"Brother Li, you really don't need to see me off. My home is in that neighborhood behind here, just a few steps away." Wang Wei pointed to a cluster of old buildings behind.

"Okay, then take it slow."

Bai Li watched as Wang Wei's slightly bulky yet much lighter figure disappeared into the alleyway before turning away.

Just as he was about to get the two beautiful women into the car, a timid voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Um...big brother?"

Bai Li turned around.

She was a girl in a school uniform, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. She had bangs, rosy cheeks, and was clutching her phone tightly in her hand.

She stood there, somewhat afraid to look Bai Li in the eye, yet unable to resist stealing glances at him.

"Wow...you're so handsome...even more handsome than my idols!" the girl exclaimed softly, as if she had mustered all the courage she had in her life.

"Um... could I add you on WeChat?"

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

Several of her companions were peering out from a short distance, watching with excited expressions.

Bai Li was stunned for a moment, then found it somewhat amusing.

If this had happened back in high school, and a girl had approached him, he might have given in.

But now...

He glanced at the two vinegar jars, one large and one small, next to him, and then at the small flower bud in front of him that had not yet fully bloomed.

"Thank you for your appreciation, but I won't add it." Bai Li refused decisively.

The girl clearly hadn't expected to be rejected so directly, and the smile on her face froze for a moment.

"what?"

"Children should focus on their studies and not think about so many other things." Bai Li put on a stern face, adopting the demeanor of a head teacher:

"The college entrance exam is just around the corner, right? Have you finished the '53' practice materials? Have you memorized the vocabulary?"

The girl was stunned by this barrage of probing questions, her face flushing red: "I...I just started my vacation..."

"Is a holiday no longer important? It's a great opportunity to overtake others!" Bai Li said earnestly.

The girl bit her lip, clearly not wanting to give up so easily.

Besides, what age in China isn't crucial?! Every day we hear, "Your age is very important..."

Every moment is crucial; a person is a key person in life, and school is a crucial place for that.

Besides, such a handsome guy is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Big brother, do you have a girlfriend?" the girl asked persistently, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"If not... I can wait."

Tsk.

Are all 18 or 9-year-old kids this brave these days?

Bai Li raised an eyebrow. Perfect. He could use this girl as a shield and also see how the two jealous people would react.

"Yes, there are." Bai Li smiled. "And there's more than one."

The girl's eyes widened, her face saying, "Are you kidding me?"

"If you don't want to give it, then don't... making up this kind of excuse."

This is ridiculous.

Which normal person would dare to say on the street that they have several girlfriends?

Aren't you afraid of getting beaten to death?

Just then, Bai Li turned around and pulled Zhang Qian and Li Mengmeng into his arms, one in each hand.

"Come on, call me husband."

Zhang Qian reacted the fastest, realizing that Bai Li wanted to get rid of this brat, and her quick wit immediately came through.

She leaned against Bai Li's chest, her body soft and boneless.

Those almond-shaped eyes were slightly upturned as he gave the high school girl a domineering smile, his voice so seductive it could melt your heart:

"Honey, let's go home quickly!"

"Can we take that thing out now?"

"After today's training, I'll definitely be able to achieve a python-like suction power!"

Although Li Mengmeng was a little taken aback, seeing that Zhang Qian had already gone up and was doing such an incredible job, how could she fall behind?

She gritted her teeth, steeled herself, grabbed Bai Li's other arm, and shouted in a strained voice:

"Boyfriend~ I'm sleepy~"

"It's all your fault! You made her eat so much, and now her belly is all swollen!"

Although it was a bit stiff, the destructive power of that youthful-looking giant scholar was on par with a nuclear bomb.

Ugh~ Let's not talk about that girl.

Even Bai Li felt that the secret dam was out of control.

The high school girl who asked for his WeChat was completely dumbfounded.

She covered her mouth, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Bai Li, Zhang Qian, and Li Mengmeng, her CPU practically burning out.

What is Dabangru? What are they talking about?

Is this... really real?

This guy is so handsome, how could he be a jerk?

And he's also a top-tier playboy who can make two beautiful women coexist peacefully?

Most importantly, these two older sisters are so beautiful!

They are completely incomparable to those naive young girls.

The mature woman's charm and the noble air of her designer clothes instantly made her feel inferior.

"Excuse me!"

The girl blushed so deeply it looked like she was about to bleed. She threw down an apology and turned to run away like a frightened little rabbit.

Back among her companions, she was so excited that she danced around, pointing in the direction of Palamera and saying something, which elicited gasps from the group of girls.

Bai Li released his grip, looked at the little girl who was fleeing in panic, and smiled.

"Alright, stop acting."

Zhang Qian didn't let go; instead, she hugged him even tighter.

"I'm not going to act anymore, I've already decided on you."

Li Mengmeng also huffed angrily:

"I didn't act! Bai Li is mine to begin with!"

Just as Bai Li was about to get into the car, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

The girl with the high ponytail looked up, her gaze sweeping over the crowd, and gave him a cold, indifferent look.

The girl who asked for WeChat just now seems to be from their table.

After the girl ran back, she whispered something in the ear of the girl with the high ponytail and pointed towards Bai Li.

After listening, Gao Mawei nodded thoughtfully, a hint of curiosity flashing in her clear eyes.

Without thinking too much, Bai Li handed the keys to Li Mengmeng so she could drive, while he opened the passenger door.

At that moment, the girl with the high ponytail stood up.

She is about 1.68 meters tall.

The blue and white school uniform made her look even more youthful, and the school uniform pants couldn't hide the excellent proportions of her legs.

The old man's sneakers, which he estimated to be size 36, revealed a section of soft, pure white cotton socks, wrapping around his slender ankles and exuding a sense of innocent allure.

The boys at the surrounding tables forgot to put their meat skewers in their mouths, watching helplessly as the "high-and-mighty flower" of No. 1 Middle School walked towards Bai Li.

"Holy crap... it has to be a Panamera plus a handsome guy." Someone muttered under their breath, the sound of utter heartbreak.

Until she stood still in front of Bai Li.

Bai Li smelled a very pleasant scent on her, like the smell of soap after a shower, mixed with a faint milky fragrance.

She tilted her head slightly, her beautiful and clear eyes looking directly at Bai Li, without any shyness or the impatience she had shown when rejecting the boys earlier.

Bai Li looked at the beautiful girl with a puzzled expression, before he could even speak.

The girl parted her pink lips slightly and said in a cool voice:

"Hello, my name is Jiang Ruyue. Can I have your WeChat?"
